Good morning all... Just got up on the other side of the world as friends down under are going to bed... I guess I am a bit late to wish them a JoYEUX NOëL and Happy New Year.... Have a good vacation, drive safely, do not forget sun screen and most of all, forget about me being in the snow ... I will think of you lying on the beach while I will be cross country skying. Have fun!

I hope everyone who is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ has a blessed holy-day - "let every heart prepare Him room."

For those celebrating with friends and loved ones, I hope you're blessed by being with your greatest treasures. And for those who are lonely, worried or More...

Yesterday Cathy from Ontario mentioned pet safety during the holidays. Also add: Never put candy/chocolates in an ornament even if you THINK it's way 'out of reach'. My son found out the hard way last Christmas. Spent $1500 getting the ornament out of his dog's stomach!

Mmmmm! Thanks for the invite, Danstell! I will bring my Aunt Ruth's coffee cake. I call it 'Seattle Sour Cream Coffee Cake' because we'd make it fresh each morning when visiting her. Layers of cinnamon and pecans... Perfect with your coffee!

I made some "starbucks" cranberry bliss bars -- but I think they are to sweet and not like I would get at Starbucks - but alias, my son thought they were good - so I guess that is what really counts -

oh, yes, mary - go shoe shoeing -- what the Heck is that -- maybe that is what it is called when the snow is gone and you just run your shoes along the path --- snow shoeing silly girl
